    Jeep Too much radiator ?

    It needs a thermostat. I just went through this on my box van, it would get hot on anything resembling a grade, despite having a new engine. Thermal camera showed no difference top to bottom of radiator, and when I fired it up cold I could see coolant flow with the cap off. Just a couple...

    Looks like a shitty job to do. I'm going to have to replace the whole subfloor in my kitchen, it's that wonderful 70s particle board garbage.

    Ideal alignment values (camber, caster)?

    Always adjust in alphabetical order. Camber, caster, toe. If they couldn't get camber at least in the ballpark they should have stopped.

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    Yup, ten years ago I bought a used Lawn Boy M series, it was made in 91. This year I put $150 in parts into it to fix the gas tank and bag. It retailed for about $500 back then.

    Wow that's ugly. I was not ready for that level of ugly today. Like the only way it should be legally operable is to be preceded by a warning vehicle carrying a sign that says caution ugly vehicle following.

    Never put power steering or any other foreign fluid in your brake system. Valuable expensive lesson learned.

    If it's Teflon, a good alcohol flush should be ok, but keep an eye on them for a while. Any funny brake wear, any seeping through the stainless, and they should get replaced.

    New everything except hard lines, and those need to be flushed well. Master, hoses, calipers, ABS valve.
